Is it pointless to date now?

I’m a 21 year old about to be 22 year old girl and I’ve never had sex, been kissed, been in a relationship, or even been in the talking stage with a boy. I think I haven’t dated anyone because I struggle with social anxiety and I just have low self esteem in general. I recently graduated college and I always thought I would meet a boy in college but it didn’t happen for me. This worries me because I went to a really large college and I didn’t manage to kiss anyone! Anyways over the past 2 years I have been going to therapy for my social anxiety and self esteem issues and I’ve tried online dating. Every time I’ve tried I swipe left on most people and the few people i match with end up ghosting me in a few days. I kept deleting and redownloading dating apps and then COVID hit. For the past few months I, like most single people, have been struggling with loneliness and I just think about having a man and dating all the time now. Since I never dated anyone before how I do I even begin to date now at a time like this? Things are “opening back up” in my area but I don’t think it’s safe for me personally since I have asthma so I’m going to keep doing strict social distancing. Yet I keep thinking about how I wanna try dating but it feels impossible right now. Online dating seems pointless because I’m not comfortable meeting anyone IRL and zoom dates sound ridiculous but I know things will not be safe for a long time and I’m just going to keep getting older! Should I, someone with no dating experience once so ever, try to date right now?
